Jonah Hill and Morgan Freeman Share Awkward Moment

Xaielao says...

One of the reasons I enjoy this show is because of the regular, shoot-the-shit kind of talk between celebs. Same with The Daily Show.

Most of us are used to canned 7 minute 'pre-approved' questions interjected with a not-that-funny story and a 30 second clip that is modern american late night talk shows. I mean the reason John Stewart has won so many concurrent Emmies is because he actually interviews like a real person and not a robot, he gets the meat of the topic, the interesting stuff. It's just so much less 'scripted'. Sure Graham Norton has the 'not-so-funny stories and the one liners but his show often involves a more casual dynamic between the guests. It's something I'd much like to see on US late night.

No problem. I've got a few jokes for you straight off the bat - what's brown and sticky? A stick. What's ET short for? He's only got little legs. Did you hear the one about the constipated mathematician? He worked it out with a pencil. Doctor doctor, i feel like a pair of curtains. Pull yourself together! What's black and white and eats like a horse? A zebra. What's black and white, black and white, black and white? A penguin rolling down a hill.

Hell, Tim Vine does hundreds of one liners in half an hour and the majority of them are not at anyone's expense.

I think you've confused what you find funny with the term "humour" as it were. You may only find shadenfreude funny, and so you think all humour is shadenfreude, but it is patently obvious that things can be humourous without being at someone's expense and i find it almost petulant to be asked to prove it when it is so obvious. You almost certainly know loads of jokes like that. How does Bob Marley like his donuts? Wi' jam-in. I stood there, wondering why the frisbee was getting bigger and bigger..... and then it hit me. What did the fish say when he swam into the wall? Dam.

From what i remember of Lenny Henry's standup (like him or not) in the old days, he didn't often tell a joke at someone's expense. Tommy Cooper used to make people laugh by doing bad magic tricks. Les Dawson used to make people laugh by playing the piano badly as only a good pianist can. Terry Pratchett makes me laugh by conjuring up funny situations in a fictional world. I laughed at the Big Lebowski when he shaded the pad of paper to see what secret notes Jackie Treehorn was making and it turned out to be a doodle of a man holding his own cock. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh. I bought some new viagra eye drops, cos they make me look hard. What do you call a man with a shovel on his head? Doug.

I could go on and on and on, but i don't get paid for this and i have other stuff to do, but i hope i've opened your eyes to whole new realms of comedy where people don't get hit in the face with stuff. Where are the Andes? At the end of your wristies. Why didn't the skeleton go to the party? He had no body to go with.

I'm so confused by your request for proof that i feel like someone's asked me "Air? What air? There's no air, i can't see any!"

I'm utterly dreading to read your reply if it says anything along the lines of "That ET joke is offensive to short people! That skeleton joke is offensive to people with eating disorders! The penguin joke is offensive to the penguin you pushed down the hill!" Please don't embarrass us both by doing that, we both know those jokes aren't offensive. (Or very funny, to be honest.)

Name it. Or try reading Stranger in a strange land for a better explanation of my point.
When analyzed thoroughly, all humor is at someone, or something's expense. I've never seen an exception...but I'm open to one if you have it!
EDIT: As I see it, all humor is schadenfreude (enjoyment taken from the misfortune of someone (or something) else. )

Captain America: Winter Soldier - Trailer 2

Is it just me, or do the heroic one liners about freedom ring more hollow every day as these buffed up brain-dead roid monkeys fight to maintain a government and status quo that shifts dramatically from generation to generation away from freedom and towards economic slavery and tyranny?

Sadly, these sorts of movies just serve to placate the masses while their freedoms are stripped away. But hey, who cares, awesome FX, right?

He's too good at this stuff, I've seen several videos of him and he's extremely quick on his toes with heckles and quick one liners.

This again? Someone said the same thing on a different post I submitted of another comedian

He's a lot more than your poorly worded description affords him, in my opinion. It's easy to cut him down to size and compare him to other comics. What's not easy is coming up with original material, performing it over and over, honing it, and eventually making it onto television to share it.

I think he deserves a bit more credit, and I think you need to broaden your horizons if your experience of comedy is so limited that any slight resemblance of one comic to another prevents you from appreciating them.
